I'm certain Listees Benno and Marlene Klopfer will not mind me 
sharing an email they sent to George and Gail Buehler today with a CC 
to me:

>Hi George and Gail,
>It is time to celebrate.  Your design, the Diesel Duck 41, just 
>rounded Cape Horn from the west to the east today the 19, Feb. 09 at 
>17:30 hrs.
>Diesel Duck behaved wonderfully even in a shitty sea here at the 
>Horn.  She always demonstrated seaworthiness and safety to us. 
>Diesel Ducks are good boats.  You can be so proud of the Duck.  We 
>are very proud of our Diesel Duck and we will drink a bottle of 
>Martini Spumante as soon as we have the hook down in a safe 
>anchorage tonight, following with a nice dinner.
>We have to say "thank you" to Georgs Kolesnikov too, who hooked us 
>up with a good commercial boat yard in Canada who built a strong 
>aluminum duck which withstood a good pounding by working her way
